Transmission failure at 110,000 miles, known issue that was covered under Ford technical service bulletin tsb 13-4-23, for my other Ford E150 2012 econoline van VIN# [xxx], the same transmission failure on both vehicles one was covered the 2013 is not, but same failure mode. I would like Ford to replace the known faulty transmission. Would not honor the tsb because it did not extend to the 2013 vehicle, information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Recall 19S07 the 1st time was driving 72mph down the interstate and the truck downshifted causing us to be jolted and an 18 wheeler to almost rear end us. Received the recall letter from Ford (literally 2 weeks after it 1st happened) for a sensor to be reset bc of truck suddenly downshifting while in motion. After dealership finished truck still was downshifting while in motion on highway or street at any speed. Took truck back and they reset again. Truck still continues to downshift while in motion. Was almost rear ended again in highway. It is hard to steer and control when it happens on the highway. Have to pull over and restart engine to be able to go again. Ford is saying we have to pay for a diagnosis, but the only problem with the truck is what it is being recalled for. Their remedy of reprograming the sensor is not working and driving the truck is dangerous. We need help please! they won't fix their faulty problem.

I purchased my 2013 Ford F-150 V6 3.5L from jons friendly used cars back in April of 2017. The truck has been doing fine until recently (last 2 days). As I was on my way to work, the truck was delaying w/shifting, the speedometer dropped to zero and which put the truck into failsafe. After looking into this and identifying the code (P0270), it confirmed the symptoms I was experiencing. I guess I'm wondering is this going to be something that need to replace (out of pocket) or is Ford or the dealership needing to get this replaced if it's been identified/posted on the tsb. How can I see if my car is covered or not?

I was driving 65 on the highway and my truck downshift to 3rd gear then back to 5th gear then first gear. Locking my wheels. Tires screeching. I had to pull over and turn my truck off, open the door to try to reset the vehicle. Ive read threads of people having a similar problem and turning off the truck, opening the door resets the vehicle.. PO722-00 code output shaft speed sensor circuit no single - pending dtc

In the last two I been having a wrench coming up on the screen and truck loses power and the speed drops down to 5 miles an hour. While the truck is running in idle, it is vibrating. When I stop it and restart it goes away. It happen three times in the last two weeks. After the second time the dealer reprogramed the computer last Friday. Thursday five days later it came back when I was doing 50 miles an hour. I called the dealer and he said he will change the throttle sensor out tomorrow.the times it happen I was on country road with no traffic, if I would have on the interstate no telling what would have happen with cars behind me doing 70 miles an hour.
